Thomas The Dam Block Shiraz 2021

An elegant, ethereal medium-bodied shiraz that opens up ever so slowly to reveal a spicy fragrance of raspberries, strawberries and chocolatey oak before a gentle palate whose juicy presence of cherries, berries and blood plums overlies a very fine spine of powdery tannins. As a four year-old it has fleshed out beautifully, easing into its spine of tight-grained tannins, extending long and stylish, finishing savoury with notes of fennel and redcurrant.
